Definitions
- This invention generally relates to wellbores used for production of formation fluids. More particularly, this invention relates to well completion providing the ability to utilize one fluid for drilling the wellbore, running the gravel packing assembly and sand control screens, and then displacing and gravel packing the completion interval with the same or another fluid.
- the proper fluids for drilling, gravel packing and sand screens installation are essential for well completion success. Careful planning, well preparation and completion execution are required to increase completion productivity and longevity.
- a minimum of three fluids has been used to drill and complete gravel packed wells.
- the first fluid is a solids-laden drilling-fluid used to drill the completion interval.
- the second fluid is a solids-free completion-fluid used to displace the solids-laden drilling-fluid and to run sand-exclusion equipment and gravel packing tools in a generally solids-free environment.
- the third fluid is a carrier fluid for the gravel during gravel packing of the completion interval.
- Drilling practices can affect a gravel pack and sand screen the same way they can affect conventionally perforated wells.
- the well should be drilled to maintain wellbore stability, and drilling fluids should be used that will not damage the formation.
- the drilling fluid typically contains weighting solids, viscosifying solids, and drilled solids at varying concentrations.
- Drilling fluid filtrates should be compatible with completion fluids and should not interfere with the completion operations.
- the drilling fluid selected should be dense enough to result in a well that is slightly overbalanced, should have low fluid loss and should be compatible with the clays in the productive formation.
- Cleanliness is one of the most important considerations in the preparation of gravel packs.
- the presence of any particulate materials can result in a damaged completion.
- tanks are often dedicated to gravel pack use to avoid repeated cleaning operations for drilling mud removal.
- Completion fluids are used to displace the solids-laden drilling fluid and to run sand-exclusion equipment and gravel packing tools in a generally solids-free environment.
- Completion fluids can be oil- or water-based fluids.
- the water-based fluids are usually considered to be more flexible. Their densities, viscosities, and formation compatabilities are more easily controlled than those of oil-based fluids. Therefore, water-based fluids are most commonly utilized.
- the fluid should contain minimum particulate material and its chemistry must be compatible with the rock formation and connate water. Fresh water may cause clays to swell or disperse, while the presence of some ions may cause precipitation when in contact with formation water.
- the most common sources of completion fluids are field or produced brine, seawater, bay water or fresh water. The density of the completion fluids is often controlled with soluble salts.
- Gravel placement involves those operations required to transport gravel from the surface to the completion interval to form a downhole filter that will permit the flow of fluids into the well but will prevent the entry of formation sands.
- the gravel placement provides a uniform pack with a porosity of thirty-nine percent or less.
- the gravel placement requires fluid to transport the gravel slurry to the completion interval.
- Oil- and water-based fluids and foams are commonly used as the gravel placement fluid. Clean fluids are essential for gravel placement. Depending on well pressures, high-density, solids-free soluble salt solutions may be required to maintain well control.
- the gravel placement fluids can be viscified by adding polymers.
- the current method used to install open-hole gravel packs typically involves drilling the completion interval with water- or oil-based drilling fluid, displacing the fluid in the open-hole to a solids-free completion fluid (typically brine), running the gravel pack assembly and sand screens to depth in the solids-free completion fluid, and gravel packing the interval with a water-based carrier fluid.
- a solids-free completion fluid typically brine
- gravel pack assembly and sand screens typically involves the inability to run the gravel pack assembly and sand screens to depth due to wellbore instability (collapse) caused by incompatibility between the water-based completion fluid (brine) and the formation. This method is inefficient since at least three fluids are required (drilling fluid, completion fluid, and gravel carrier fluid).
- a frequent modification to the method described above involves placing a pre-drilled liner in the completion interval prior to displacing the open-hole to completion fluid and running the gravel pack assembly and sand screens ( Murray, G., Morton, K., Blattel, S., Davidson, E., MacMillan, N., Roberts, J., SPE 73727, February 20-21, 2002 . Development of the Alba Field - Evolution of Completion Practices, Part 2 Open Hole Completions; Successful Outcome - Drilling with SBM and Gravel Packing with Water Based Carrier Fluid and Gilchrist, J.M., Sutton, Jr., L.W., Elliot, F.J., SPE 48976, September 27-30, 1988 .
- the pre-drilled liner mitigates wellbore collapse and provides a conduit for running the gravel pack assembly and sand screens. While the pre-drilled liner improves the ability to run the gravel pack assembly and sand screens to depth, it provides an additional resistance to flow and may have a negative impact on productivity.
- the method comprises drilling a wellbore with a drilling fluid, conditioning the drilling fluid, running the gravel packing assembly tools to depth in a wellbore with the conditioned drilling fluid, and gravel packing an interval of the wellbore using a carrier fluid.
- the carrier-fluid may be the same as the drilling fluid. This method may be combined with alternate-path sand screen technology to ensure proper distribution of the gravel pack
- the application provides a method for installing an open-hole gravel pack completion.
- the installation process involves drilling the completion interval with drilling fluid, conditioning the drilling fluid, running the gravel packing assembly and sand control screens to depth in the conditioned drilling fluid, then displacing and gravel packing the completion interval with the same or another fluid.
- This new method for installing open-hole gravel pack completions addresses problems that have been experienced while attempting to run sand screens to depth in the wellbore prior to gravel packing.
- benefits of the new procedure include reduced completion time due to simplified operational procedures and potential elimination of a slotted liner.
- the method has four basic steps. First, a well is drilled in a interval through a subterranean formation with a drilling fluid 1. Second, the drilling fluid is conditioned 2. Third, the gravel pack assembly tools are run to depth in the wellbore with the conditioned fluid 3. Fourth, an interval of the wellbore is gravel packed with a completion fluid 4. The completion fluid can be the same as the conditioned fluid or a separate fluid. If the wellbore does not need to be gravel packed a screen can be run to depth in the wellbore with the conditioned fluid with the fourth step no longer necessary.
- the completion interval is drilled with either water-based or oil-based drilling fluid.
- the drilling fluid is circulated through the wellbore and filtered (or conditioned) using equipment on the rig floor.
- the drilling fluid contains particles (such as, drill cuttings) that may plug the openings (or slots) in the sand screen and potentially plug the gravel pack if not sufficiently removed. Therefore, the drilling fluid is conditioned (or filtered) before running the sand screens to preferably remove solid particles larger than approximately one-third the slot opening size and/or one-sixth the diameter of the gravel pack particle size.
- the one-third slot size is based on the general rule of thumb for size of spherical particles required to bridge a given slot size.
- the one-sixth diameter of the gravel pack particle size is based on the general rule of thumb for the required size of pore throats in a pack of spherical particles at a given diameter to avoid plugging.
- typical wire-wrapped sand screens have 8.5 gauge slots (approximately 215 microns) and 30/50 proppant (approximately 425 microns) may be used for the gravel packs.
- the drilling fluid can be conditioned over 310 mesh shaker screens (approximately 50 microns) on the drilling rig, which should sufficiently filter-out the oversized particles.
- a screen tester apparatus may be utilized to check samples of the conditioned fluid to verify whether it freely passes through a screen sample with a specified slot size.
- the recommended slot size is 3 to 4 gauge sizes less than nominal screen slots.
- Running sand screens in conditioned-fluid for stand-alone screen completions is a frequent operational practice for persons skilled in the art. For example, this practice is often conducted in the North Sea where gravel packing is not necessary due to the high permeability formations that have large sand grains with uniform size distributions. For open-hole completions that must be gravel packed due to heterogeneous formation with nonuniform grain size distributions, prior to this new method sand screens were not run in conditioned fluid
- the open-hole interval fluid is typically displaced with a volume of neat fluid.
- Neat fluid is gravel carrier fluid not laden with gravel pack proppants.
- the displacement removes conditioned drilling fluid and drill cuttings that remain in the open-hole.
- the displacement fluid is circulated in a direction that does not direct solids-laden fluid through the screen in an effort to avoid screen plugging. For example, the fluid can be circulated down the annulus, through the crossover to the washpipe, down the washpipe of the screen assembly, and out the screen.
- open-hole gravel pack installation methods required the completion of the displacement operation before installing sand screens because previous methods assumed sand screens should be run in solids-free fluid.
- the completion interval is gravel packed using standard operational procedures.
- the pump rate for the gravel pack operation should be slower than the displacement rate to avoid screen plugging.
- Another embodiment involves drilling a completion interval in a wellbore with an oil-based drilling fluid and gravel packing an interval of the wellbore with a water-based carrier fluid using alternate-path technology.
- oil-based fluid filter cakes have lower lift-off pressures that can be problematic for installing a complete gravel pack. Filter cake is a concentrated layer of solids from the drilling fluid that forms on the borehole wall opposite a permeable formation.
- the water-based gravel pack carrier fluid should have favorable rheology for effectively displacing the conditioned fluid and favorable rheology and sand carrying capacity for gravel packing using alternate path technology.
- the water-based carrier fluid include but are not limited to a fluid viscosified with HEC polymer, xanthan polymer, visco-elastic surfactant (VES) or combinations thereof. Persons skilled in the art will recognize other carrier fluids that may be chosen because of their favorable properties.
- the gravel pack carrier fluid is oil-based.
- the method using the oil-based carrier fluid would be the same as described above with the water-based carrier fluid.
- the method was developed as a result of operational difficulties experienced while attempting to run the gravel pack assembly in a wellbore.
- the planned procedure for the wellbore was to drill the completion interval, displace to solids-free brine, run the gravel pack assembly and screens, then gravel pack the completion interval using water-based carrier fluid.
- the gravel pack assembly and sand screens could not be run to depth after several attempts due to wellbore stability problems. Unsuccessful attempts were also made to run a pre-drilled liner.
- the wellbore was suspended and operations were moved to a nearby wellbore.
- Figures 2 through 11 illustrate the two-fluid system well completion using an alternate path well screen in a field test wherein like elements of figures 2 through 11 have been given like numerals.
- a well is drilled using a drilling fluid with techniques known to persons skilled in the art.
- a well screen is installed in a wellbore filled with conditioned nonaqueous fluid (NAF).
- Figure 2 is an illustration of a screen 27 with alternate path technology 21 inside a wellbore 23, which is part of the gravel pack assembly.
- the gravel pack assembly consists of a wellscreen 27, alternate path technology 21, a GP Packer 29, and a crossover tool 35 with fluid ports 26 connecting the drillpipe 28, washpipe 41 and the annulus of the wellbore 23 above and below the GP Packer 29.
- This wellbore 23 consists of a cased section 22 and a lower open-hole section 24.
- the gravel pack assembly is lowered and set in the wellbore 23 on a drillpipe 28.
- the NAF 25 in the wellbore 23 had previously been conditioned over 310 mesh shakers (not shown) and passed through a screen sample (not shown) 2-3 gauge sizes smaller than the gravel pack screen 27 in the wellbore 23.
- the GP packer 29 is set in the wellbore 23 directly above the interval to be gravel packed.
- the GP Packer seals the interval from the rest of the wellbore 23.
- the crossover tool 35 is shifted into the reverse position and neat gravel pack fluid 33 is pumped down the drillpipe 28 and placed into the annulus between the casing 22 and the drillpipe 28, displacing the conditioned oil-based fluid 25.
- the arrows 36 indicate the flowpath of the fluid.
- the crossover tool 35 is shifted into the circulating gravel pack position.
- Conditioned NAF 25 is then pumped down the annulus between the casing 22 and the drillpipe 28 pushing the neat gravel pack fluid 33 through the washpipe 41, out the screens 27, sweeping the open-hole annulus 45 between the alternate path tools 21 and the open-hole 24 and through the crossover tool 35 into the drillpipe 28.
- the arrows 46 indicate the flowpath through the open-hole 24 and the alternate path tools 21 in the wellbore 23 .
- a viscous spacer 61, neat gravel pack fluid 33 and gravel pack slurry 63 are pumped down the drillpipe 28.
- the arrows 66 indicate direction of fluid flow of fluid while the crossover tool 35 is in the reverse position.
- the appropriate amount of gravel pack slurry 63 to pack the open-hole annulus 45 between the alternate path tools 21 and the open-hole 24 is pumped down the drillpipe 28, with the crossover tool 20 in the circulating gravel pack position.
- the arrows 77 indicate direction of fluid flow of fluid while the crossover tool 35 is in the gravel pack position.
- the pumping of the gravel pack slurry 63 down the drillpipe 28, forces the neat gravel pack fluid 33 through the screens 27, up the washpipe 41 and into the annulus between the casing 22 and the drillpipe 28.
- Conditioned NAF 25 returns are forced through the annulus between the casing 22 and the drillpipe 28 as the neat gravel pack fluid 33 enters the annulus between the casing 22 and the drillpipe 28.
- the gravel pack slurry 63 is then pumped down the drillpipe 31 by introducing a completion fluid 101 into the drillpipe 28.
- the gravel pack slurry 63 displaces the conditioned NAF (not shown) out of the annulus between the casing 22 and the drillpipe 28.
- gravel is deposited in the open-hole annulus 45 between the alternate path tools 21 and the open-hole 24. If a sand bridge 81 forms as shown in Figure 8 , then gravel pack slurry 63 is diverted into the shunt tubes of the alternate-path tool 21 and resumes packing the open-hole annulus 45 between the alternate path tools 21 and the open-hole 24 and below the sand bridge 81.
- the arrows 86 illustrate the fluid flow of the gravel pack slurry down the drillpipe 28 through the crossover tool 35 into the annulus of the wellbore below the GP Packer 29 through the alternate-path tool 21 to the open-hole annulus 45 between the alternate path tools 21 and the open-hole 24 and below the sand screen 81.
- the arrows 86 further indicate the fluid flow of the neat gravel pack fluid 33 up the washpipe 41 through the crossover tool 35 in the annulus between the casing 22 and the drillpipe 28.
- Figure 9 illustrates a wellbore 23 immediately after fully packing the annulus between the screen 27 and casing 22 below the GP packer 29.
- the crossover tool 35 is shifted to the reverse position.
- a viscous spacer 61 is pumped down the annulus between the drillpipe 28 and the casing 22 followed by completion fluid 101 down the annulus between the casing 22 and the drillpipe 28.
- completion fluid 101 down the annulus between the casing 22 and the drillpipe 28.
- Laboratory testing was conducted to qualify the inventive method described above before the method was field-tested. Laboratory testing indicated that the solids contamination of a gravel pack (potential result of an inefficient displacement of solids laden drilling fluid) does not impair the pack permeability.
- the test involved mixing a volume of gravel with a volume of drilling fluid and packing the mixture into a cylindrical flow apparatus. The drilling fluid was displaced from the gravel by flowing another fluid through the pack. Measurements of the permeability of the initial gravel pack not previously mixed with solids-laden drilling fluid and measurements of the gravel pack after the drilling fluid had been displaced from the pack were similar indicating negligible potential for impairment.
- the successful field trial described above verified the feasibility of the procedures described above.
- the procedures include fluid conditioning procedures, field testing apparatus procedures to monitor the conditioning process and the manipulation procedures (reverse and circulating positions) of gravel pack service tools described above. Furthermore, the fluid displacement efficiencies of using solids-laden drilling fluid and gravel carrier fluids with sand screens in the wellbore were also verified.
